Systems, methods and mechanisms for efficiently calibrating memory signals. In various embodiments, a computing system includes at least one processor, a memory and a power manager. The power manager generates and sends updated power-performance states (p-states) to the processor and the memory. Logic within a memory controller for the memory initializes a first timer corresponding to a first p-state of the multiple p-states to indicate a duration for skipping memory calibration. The logic continues to update the first timer while transferring data with the memory using operating parameters of the first p-state. When the memory is not using operating parameters of the first p-state, the logic prevents updates of the first timer. When the power manager determines to transition the memory from the first p-state to a second p-state, and the second timer for the second e-state has not expired, the logic prevents calibration of the memory.
